About Me

We have had an open store since 1987. We've been online
since 1997. We moved to our larger (about 1800 square feet) location at 5422 E. Village Road, Long Beach CA 90808 in
January of 1999.
Von's bought the Shopping
center where our old store was located (4174 Woodruff, Lakewood, CA 90713) and was planning to tear
it all down and remodel. Construction of the new Von's finished as of January
2001. They didn't remodel our site after all. The move seems to have been
for the best, as the new location has been much better for us.
The New(er) Location has a Genuine Vault, leftover from when
the building was a Jewelry Store in the 40's. It is now the depository
of our 1st Editions and Collectibles.
We have a large selection of both Paperback and Hardback
books (somewhere in the neighborhood of 35,000+ items). We have a wide
selection of books with no topics excluded. We have a large collection of Signed Books and Military Books.
Our staff is fairly knowledgeable in the fields of Military,
Mystery, SF, Fantasy, Romance & more. Visit our site Once Read Books if you have any questions,
comments, or want any more info.
